Thoughts on these mortgage attorneys?

Hello BP

The servicer I use said that if I needed to go through a foreclosure in Texas I would have to use one of their approved attorneys below. Was curious if anyone has had experience with one of these firms? Just want to get a head start on the vetting process

@Account Closed  I’ve used Special Default Services numerous times for FCL in Texas.  Excellent service at a reasonable cost.  They are not attorneys however, they are fulfilling the role of trustee, which is what you need in a Deed of Trust state.  One other point, your servicer should not be dictating which attorney you work with.  Sounds like you may be in "full collection" mode with the servicer.  If that is the case, my advice would be to change the servicing level on the loan so that you are in the drivers seat with regard to the FCL, and work with the attorney or trustee directly.  Servicing fees will be less expensive as well.
